Chapter 169 Harvest
Medicine Garden No. 11.
Gaode came to the medicine field that he claimed.
This medicinal field, which he carefully cared for, has changed a lot from the beginning. .
Looking up, you can see a green patch of green seedlings mixed with yellow and purple buds.
The medicine field specially developed by the college is controlled by magic circles and mages, and magic crystals are regularly supplied to nourish the medicine field, making every inch of the medicine field contain extremely rich magic power.
With the support of sufficient magic power, although it has only been a month and a half since the planting, both the zero-level magic plant Alocasia Fruit and the first-level magic plant thorn fruit have already grown buds at this moment.
The branches of the thorn fruit seedlings are even covered with fine spikes.
The color of thorn fruits can be predicted by the growth of spikes on the branches.
Obviously, these thorn fruit magic plants are growing very gratifyingly under Gothe's careful care.
Thirty alocasia seeds and ten thorn fruit seeds all sprouted, and not a single one was dead.
According to this situation, it is obviously not a big problem to get a perfect score in this "Magic Plant Cultivation" course.
Gaode nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time sprinkled the medicinal solution he had prepared in different amounts according to the different varieties and growth conditions of the seedlings.
His heart was filled with joy.
It's not that he is happy about the good results he is about to achieve - in fact, whether in his previous life or in this life, Gaode is already a little numb to the matter of achieving good results.
At this moment, a week has passed since he completed all three courses with full marks.
At the beginning of the Frozen Moon, Sires Academy suddenly made waves because of his sixteen courses.
At the beginning of the winter solstice, it was because of his three perfect scores that there was another sensation.
The attendance rate of these three courses is second to none in the college.
It can be said that more than 90% of the students in the college have taken at least one of the courses and participated in the assessment of one of the courses.
Only when you have experienced it will you understand.
So, almost every student can understand how difficult it is to obtain full marks in the final assessment of these three courses.
Some people are admired, some are shocked, and some are jealous. Various emotions can be summarized in five words:
"Is this still a human being?"
For The calmest thing about this matter is Gaode himself as the victim.
In the world of "students", you often know your results when you "answer the questions".
The three-door perfect score is a bit unexpected, but it is basically within the range of Gaode's own prediction.
So he was very calm after knowing the results.
I took three courses and there are still thirteen courses left.
The credits have only accumulated to 15 points, and he has not yet caught up with Youlan's starting line.
The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to continue their efforts.
Gaode is still very busy and doesn’t have much thought to show off his pride, and he has nothing to show off.
This world is, after all, the world of mages.
Serris Academy is also a mage academy.
So, the mage level is the basis of everything.
With this foundation, other things have added value.
Gaode sees things thoroughly.
Just like the reason why he is happy now is entirely because after these medicinal materials mature, 20% of the harvest will belong to him.
This is a very reasonable price. After all, for the growth of magic plants, the most important medicinal fields and seeds are produced by the academy.
What Gaode paid was his own labor and the cost of preparing some culture solutions.
The 20% of the harvest can be used either for personal use or sold to the college.
The harvest of a first-level magic plant is approximately worth 12-15 gold.
Under the most ideal harvest situation, the price offered by the Thorn Fruit Academy can reach 15 gold.
Two achievements are 3 gold.
Ten thorn fruits can bring 30 gold benefits to Gaode.
Alocasia fruit is a zero-level magic plant, and the purchase price given by the academy is only 3 gold, and the second achievement is 12 silver.
30 alocasia fruits are 360 silver. The two magic plants combined can bring a total of 48 gold benefits to Gaode.
It costs about 15 gold to prepare the culture medium. After deducting this part of the expenditure, the income is still 33 gold.
Two and a half months, which is when the seeds are sprouting, will be more busy.
The rest of the time is just killing insects, watering, and fertilizing, which takes less than an hour on average every day.
This kind of labor intensity can bring about 2 credits and 33 gold benefits.
Amap still thinks this is a very good deal.
Unfortunately, the college's medicinal fields are the assets of the college. Unless there are special circumstances such as final assessment, they will generally not be contracted to students.
Otherwise, Gao De Gao Luo would have to be a real farmer at Seris College and contract a large area of medicinal fields.
If you can become the chief student of the Potions Department, as a benefit, you can claim a medicine field from the college every year.
Even though the growth of magic plants requires extremely high magic power and fertility, the planting density is low.
But according to the academy’s standards, a medicine field can also plant about fifty first-order magic plants.
How much money will you be able to earn after this school year?
When he thought that Sadie, the chief student of the Potions Department, was most likely a wealthy person, Gaode felt a little envious.
Should I also take Potions as an elective next school year?
Subconsciously, Gothe began to think about it.
The winter solstice month passed by in a flash.
Meanwhile, on the 20th, the apprentice guidance method of Gaode Cultivation received another improvement after 53 days, and his total magic power officially reached 12 levels of magic.
At the end of the month, the "Magic Plant Cultivation" course also ushered in the final assessment.
With 30 well-growing Alocasia fruit trees and 10 thorn fruit trees, Gaode unsurprisingly obtained another perfect score, and the credits reached 17 points.
The full score of this course that focuses on practical operations also disproves the argument that was circulated some time ago that "Gaode is only good at theoretical knowledge".
The assessment and scoring are over, and it’s time to harvest the magic plants in the medicine field.
The harvesting and gathering step is carried out by the potions department sending personnel.
It is not only to help, but also to prevent students from hiding part of their harvest.
"You used to be a farmer in the countryside, right?" Sadie, who was assigned to inspect the harvest, half sighed and half ridiculed at the edge of the medicine field.
Another month has passed, and the fully ripe alocasia fruits and thorn fruits in the medicinal fields are hanging on the branches, hanging down naturally, plump and attractive.
"I just have a little interest and talent in planting." Gaode said modestly.
My predecessor worked in the medicine garden for a long time. Although the cultivation was not magic plants but ordinary herbs, it was still on the same track as the cultivation of magic plants and had many things in common.
In addition, his theoretical knowledge has become more and more solid now, and he is usually very concerned about these magic plants. It is reasonable to have such a harvest.
"You got perfect marks in "Cultivation of Magic Plants". Although I also got perfect marks in this course at the beginning. But you also got perfect marks in "General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials". This is the class of tutor Joseph. Even I was only in my early eighties at the beginning. "You should join our potion department!" Sadie said with emotion.
Although Gaode did have this idea, in the end he felt that the rune system was more suitable for him, so he gave up the idea.
Now facing Sadie's emotion, he just smiled and said: "This is just a branch of potions. It does not mean that I can learn potions well."
"Then That's true." Sadie raised her eyebrows. Potions requires a certain amount of talent to learn well.
As the chief student of the Potions Department, there is no doubt that she is the one with certain talents, and she is still a little proud of this.
While speaking, the Potion Department student in charge of the Gaode Medicine Field had completed the harvesting and weighing work, and reported the final results.
"The total harvest of thorn berries is 9 pounds and 8 gu. You will get 20% of it. I can make the decision and you will get 2 pounds. The total harvest of calla lily fruits is 34 pounds and 3 gu. You will get 7 pounds." Sadie looked at it. The harvest figures reported by the students were calculated by Gaode.
She added a few odd bits to Gaode to make up the whole number, which can be regarded as providing a small benefit to Gaode.
Although it’s not much, it makes people feel very comfortable.
"According to this year's prices, the purchase price for thorn fruits is 15 gold per pound, and the purchase price for alocasia fruits is 3 gold per pound."
"Do you want to keep your share, or do you want to sell it to the college?"
"Sell it to the academy." Gaode did some mental calculations and found that the final income was almost the same as what he had previously estimated. Most of the extra 3 gold came from what Shadi had collected for him.
Gothe’s decision was not what Sadie expected.
She nodded, took out a settlement form that had been stamped with the seal of the Potions Department, and filled in the specific details and her name on it.
Then she handed it to Gaode and asked Gaode to sign her name on the settlement form and print her fingerprints. After that, she took out the purse and counted out 51 gold coins to settle the bill with Gaode.
